What inspired you to go vegan?
M: I’m not exactly sure when veganism all started to make sense to me and when I got inspired, but I think I ran into some YouTube videos where people talked about veganism (including Freelee the Banana Girl) and I think thats when I knew that veganism was truly the best thing for my body, the Earth and the animals. What really stood out to me, and made me extremely inspired was the documentary Forks Over Knives.
